All of the following fields are optional:

title: can be used to provide a custom title for the table, otherwise, it will default to "Reception".
subtitle: used to add additional text before the collapsible section. This is necessary to add if want a longer title, as long titles via the "title" parameter will not center correctly.
state

collapsed – the table will be collapsed (hidden) by default. This is useful for very long tables.
autocollapse – the table will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that use other collapsible tables. Otherwise, the table will be expanded. For the technically minded, see MediaWiki:Common.js.
plain – the table will always be expanded and the [hide]/[show] link on the right will not be displayed.
If set to blank, the table will always start out in an expanded state.

rev1–8: these are for custom reviewers. Use with rev1Score.
award1–12: these are for any awards that the title has won.
width: sets the width of the table; default is 23em.

Star system

If a reviewer uses a star system instead of a numerical rating, you can use the {{rating}} template to create the stars.

For instance:

Code	Result
`{{Rating\|3\|5}}`
`{{Rating\|3.5\|5}}`
`{{Rating\|3.5\|10}}`
